In 12 Hours

In 12 hours a test will take place. A great score is what I chase. I have studied for four years, so my score better impress my peers. It determines whether I can get my Ph.D or not. Something after which, I have so tirelessly sought. I don't know what kind of grade I'll receive. All I do know is, in myself I do believe.

Just as an update, the test went very well, 1530 out of 1600. 96 percentile. I can't believe it myself. Thanks for the wishes.

This hit home for me, Chris, because I graduate soon - 23rd June, with a BSc in Environmental Science so I understand how it feels to worry about grades, believe me, I did with mine. Nicely put poem.
